Fox Entertainment president Kevin Reilly said today that network officials have spoken informally to O'Brien's reps, but they haven't gotten very far. "Until he makes a decision, we can't do anything," he told television writers in Pasadena. Reilly said Fox officials had been "digesting" the turn of events at NBC (sounds like they're a ways off from offering him the late-night spot). O'Brien is still said to be mulling a decision on whether to accept NBC's 12:05 a.m. time slot. (NY Daily News)
